Tom Wolf. Rank-and-file House representatives said Friday that they did not know what they will be asked to vote for during Sunday's session. They also said they had been informed that there remained no agreement after weeks of discussion between Wolf and top lawmakers on a revenue package that was expected to include a tax increase on cigarettes. "We're coming back Sunday, we're sorting out a couple details and hopefully we'll have it signed, sealed and delivered by Tuesday," said Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, R-Centre. The Senate had no plans to return until at least Monday. The struggle over how to shore up Pennsylvania's deficit-ridden finances has left it as the only state government without an enacted budget for part or all of the new 2016-17 fiscal year, according to the National Association of State Budget Officers. Lawmakers are up Five St. Marys Area High School students fared well at the recent HOSA Future Health Professional 2016 International Leadership Conference held in Nashville, Tenn. Of the thousands of competitors, SMA senior Michelle Bauer brought home a national championship title as the top place winner in the Healthy Lifestyles category. In addition, junior Leah Gabler brought home a bronze medal with a third-place finish in Dental Terminology. Rachel Bauer, a recent SMA graduate, placed in the top 10 in By Amy Cherry Staff Writer the Sports Medicine category. Seniors Alyssa Pontious and Marah Thompson also competed at nationals in the Forensic Medicine category. In order to compete at the national level, candidates had to finish in the top three of their event in their home state. Each of the SMAHS students were state champions in their respective categories. The conference consisted of a gathering of over 9,200 delegates, of which 6,644 participated as competitors in over 50 different events.

July 10, 2016 JOHNSONBURG – A Johnsonburg man has been charged with a felony by the Ridgwaybased Pennsylvania State Police after failing to pay for a $2.72 seafood salad that he ate while shopping at Elk County Foods in Ridgway Township. Kerry Willis Beck, 62, of 409 Bridge St., Johnsonburg, is currently facing a charge of retail theft - take merchandise, a felony of the third degree, in District Court 59-3-02, the office of Magisterial District Judge James L.

The wobble trap and doubles shooting event (75 birds) will be held rain or shine, and registration will take place from 8 a.m. until noon. Shooting will begin at 9 a.m. Kate Yetzer, ECCD Resource Conservation Technician, is in charge of coordinating the event, and she explained that wobble trap and doubles were selected to present more of a challenge to participants. “Wobble trap and doubles are interesting, even to competi- 11am until SOLD OUT Benefits the St. Marys Area Band Boosters.

Wobble trap shoots the bird at various heights, whereas in standard trap the bird may come out of the house in various locations, but it doesn’t change height. Double trap is just what it sounds like, two birds. Standard trap only throws one bird at a time, but during doubles, a participant must shoot at two birds during the same turn, at the same time,” Yetzer said. According to Yetzer, the shoot got its start last year as a way to help raise funds for environmental education programs throughout the county. “Our District Manager, Steve Putt, is an avid trail runner.

Speaking at the opening of two days of meetings with European leaders, Obama said the U.S. and the EU agreed they can do more to improve security, share information and stem the flow of foreign fighters to prevent terror attacks. But he also said leaders on both sides of the Atlantic need to address the economic frustrations of their people, who feel they are being left behind by globalization. "Our governments, including the EU cannot be remote institutions," said Obama, as he stood alongside European Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission President JeanClaude Juncker. "They have to be responsive and move more quickly with minimal bureaucracy to deliver real economic progress in the lives of ordinary people." In an op-ed published in the Financial Times on Friday, Obama called on European leaders to stand firm against Russia, Islamic State terrorism and other challenges facing NATO — even as a Britain is poised to retrench from Europe. He argued that Britain's looming exit only makes the NATO alliance a more important force for cooperation in the region. "I believe that our nations must summon the political will, and make concrete commitments, to meet these urgent challenges. I believe we can — but only if we stand united as true allies and partners," Obama wrote. Obama and the two European leaders delivered a unified message that Britain's exit, while serious, will not divide the broader effort of the nations to work together on matters including the war in Afghanistan, the fight against the Islamic State, the migrant crisis and climate change. Arguments that the split suggests the "entire edifice of Europe security and prosperity is crum- bling" are misplace hyperbole, Obama said during remarks with Tusk and Juncker. The exit negotiations have not yet been formally triggered by Britain and could take up to two years. "I am confident that the UK and the EU will be able to agree on an orderly transition to a new relationship, as all our countries stay focused on ensuring financial stability and growing the global economy," Obama wrote. Although the U.S. has a keen interest in the talks, the president's words have limited impact and influence. Obama's trip, which includes a stop in Spain, is expected to be his last trip to Europe as president. The president arrived prior to the shoot- ing attack that killed five police officers in Dallas. The task of trying to shape the talks to serve U.S. interests and mitigate damage largely will fall to his successor. Still, in his remaining time in office, Obama has sought to use his popularity in Europe and his presidential megaphone to defend international cooperation and the "European project" and will urge other leaders to speak up more forcefully. The White House has acknowledged that Obama's message has to some degree failed to persuade on both sides of the Atlantic. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has suggested he would seek to pull back from Europe, even hinting the U.S. could withdraw from NATO, the 67-yearold cornerstone of European security. His Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, has suggested she would continue, if not deepen, Obama's approach. But even Clinton has rejected the president's push for massive, multinational free-trade agreements. That call for renewed focus on alliances extends to NATO, which U.S. officials have said stands at an "inflection point" away from its post-Sept. 11 focus on the mission in Afghanistan to an era with more diffuse and varied threats. Obama met Friday with NATO SecretaryGeneral Jens Stoltenberg to review the agenda before visiting with the summit's host, Polish President Andrzej Duda. dental specialties. Competitors were expected to recognize, identify, define, interpret or apply these terms in a 100-item multiple choice test. Rachel Bauer represented Pennsylvania as the first-place winner in the Sports Medicine category. During the first of two rounds of competition, Bauer completed a written, multiple choice test of knowledge and understanding. The top scoring competitors advanced to round two for the performance of selected skills identified in a written scenario which required the use of critical thinking skills. This round was conducted off-site at a nearby university. The performance was timed and evaluated according to the event guidelines. Alyssa Pontious and Marah Thompson, both seniors, were the final two first-place state winners from SMAHS competing in the Forensic Medicine category. Following a written test to evaluate the team’s understanding of forensic medicine, the top scoring teams advanced to round two where they were given a case study related to forensic medicine. Unfortunately, the team did not advance to the second round. This was Rachel's second year attending nationals. She is excited to be leaving high school on a high note with her success this year. The remaining SMA students participating at nationals are already looking forward to next year's competitions and hope to take their enthusiasm and knowledge to the other SMAHS HOSA members in order to take a larger contingent to Orlando, Fla. for the 2017 International Leadership Conference to be held at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. During the awards program, the top 10 students in each category were called to the stage and presented to the assembly. The top three winners were then presented with their respective gold, silver and bronze medals. At the conclusion of the awards program, the winners were met and congratulated by Janet Nelson, the Pennsylvania state advisor. Nelson mentioned how proud she was of their accomplishments and the education they must be receiving at SMAHS to be bringing home two medalists and a top 10 finisher. This marked the 39th year for the event which was held in June at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. Competitions were conducted over a threeday period in order to accommodate all of the students and the events. Adding to the students apprehension was the long four-hour wait for officials to post the list of those top 20 participants continuing to the second round of their specific competitions. Those continuing on returned to their studies to practice in the hopes of advancing to the awards stage. Competitions concluded Friday afternoon, which left Saturday as a time to relax and enjoy the offerings of Nashville, prior to the awards cer- emony Saturday evening. The mission of HOSA is to enhance the delivery of compassionate, quality health care by providing opportunities for knowledge, skill and leadership development of all health science education students, thereby helping the student meet the needs of the health care community. The purpose of the HOSA organization is to develop leadership and technical HOSA skill competencies through a program of motivation, awareness and recognition, which is an integral part of the Health Science Education instructional program. HOSA has associations in all 50 states, Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and Italy. footage that showed Beck select a seafood salad from the deli cooler on June 7 at approximately 5:47 p.m. Borden continues to state that Beck began to eat the salad at approximately 5:55 p.m. while shopping within the store. At 5:57 p.m., Beck was seen throwing a partially consumed salad into the garbage can before proceeding to the checkout and failing to pay for the salad. As a result of the incident, Beck was charged with the felony count of retail theft. Bolden stated in the affidavit that the charge will be a felony of the third degree due to the fact that Beck has previously been convicted of retail theft. According to court records, on Jan. 26, 2015, Beck pleaded guilty to a summary offense of re- tail theft before Magisterial District Judge Mark S. Jacob in District Court 59-3-03. He was ordered to pay $269.29 in restitution, fees and fines. Eleven months later, on Dec. 28, 2015, Beck pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of retail theft before President Judge Richard A. Masson. In this case, he was sentenced to 12 months of probation and assessed a $100 fine, $69.66 in restitution and the cost of prosecution. Between the two cases, Beck was ordered to pay $1,259.20, which included $75.95 in restitution. In the Elk County Foods theft case, Beck has yet to be scheduled for a preliminary hearing, although the case is active within District Court 59- 3-02. Online court documents do not list an attorney for Beck, although the commonwealth will be represented by the Elk County District Attorney's Office. In the case in which Beck pleaded guilty before Masson, Beck was represented by Martin, who was the Elk County Public Defender at the time.

(AP) — A Virginia man has been charged with attempting to assist the Islamic State by photographing targets in the Washington, D.C., area for what he thought would be a video encouraging lonewolf terrorist attacks in the nation's capital. Haris Qamar, 25, of Burke is the second person this week from the northern Virginia suburbs to be charged at the federal courthouse in Alexandria with attempting to support the Islamic State. At an initial appearance Friday, a magistrate ordered that Qamar be held pending a detention hearing scheduled for Wednesday, and that he receive a court-appointed lawyer. Qamar came to authorities' attention through Twitter posts about supporting terrorist attacks that appeared under variations of the handle "newerajihadi," court documents show. According to an affidavit, the FBI set up a sting operation in which Qamar worked with an informant last month to film landmarks, including the Pentagon, that could be targeted for attacks. The informant recorded Qamar saying "bye-bye DC" as he filmed the Pentagon. He went on to say that he hates the United States and gets a "burning sensation in my body because this place is so disgusting." Qamar told the in- formant that filming and photographing targets that the Islamic State could use in a video to urge lone-wolf attacks made him a true supporter of the group and more than just a "fanboy," according to the affidavit. Qamar is a U.S. citizen born in Brooklyn, according to the affidavit, which also said Qamar tried to join the Islamic State in 2014 but was thwarted because his father had possession of Qamar's passport and threatened to turn his son in to authorities if he persisted. Travel records show that Qamar had gone as far as buying a ticket to Istanbul in that time frame, according to the affidavit. In an interview Fri- board and is also very active in the St. Marys Sportsmen’s Club. “I approached Jerry about potentially using their facilities and he was very enthusiastic about seeing if the club could help us out. Basically the rest is history,” Yetzer said. In addition to Olson, she credited Paul Donachy with playing a big role in the event’s success. “Paul Donachy, of the Superior Trap and Skeet Team and member of the Sportsmen’s, was a huge help,” Yetzer said. “He answered all of my questions and provided a bunch of assistance the day of the event.” For last year’s inaugural shoot, Yetzer hoped for a turnout of at least 20 shooters, while the conservation district was prepared for as many as 50. The actual number, she noted, fell in between and they ended up with 34. “We had participants from all walks of life,” Yetzer said. “We had competitive shooters who participate in competitions and local leagues. We had cooperating agency staff who came out to support us from Pa. Fish and Boat, Pa. Game Commission, DEP, etc. We had youth shooters. We had women. We had ordinary blue collar community members. It was great, and we were pleased with the diversity of our turnout.” Anyone interested in participating this year will need to bring both eye and ear protection, a 12 or 20 gauge shotgun capable of firing two shots, and enough shot for a minimum of 75 targets. Participants should also be prepared for the possibility of a shootoff in the event of a tie, which is a scenario that Yetzer indicated occurred last year. “At the end of wobble and doubles, we had a tie for top female as well as a three-way tie for overall,” Yetzer said. “Stacy Yetzer and Darcy Gorlowski were tied for top female, with Darcy ultimately coming out on top. Denny Eckert, Greg Mahoney, and TJ Wehler were tied for overall shooter places, with TJ ultimately coming out on top. In the event of a tie, we had and will continue to have a shoot-off to determine the place winners. For this reason, it is recommended that participants prepare for this event by bringing extra shot.” In addition to Gorlowski and Wehler, last year’s runner-up was Mahoney and the third-place their closed-door talks for the past two weeks. Under discussion is a $1 per-pack tax increase on cigarettes, to $2.60 per pack, and legislation making Pennsylvania just the fourth-state to authorize online gambling. Such a gambling expansion to the internet could generate lucrative license fees right away, lawmakers say. But even optimistic revenue assumptions from both items leave a gap of hundreds of millions of dollars. Rep. Mike Sturla, DLancaster, accused the House Republican majority of ducking their end of the bargain. Most Republicans were happy to vote for the spending bill that went to Wolf's desk, Sturla said, but few are willing to vote for a tax increase that is necessary to pay for it. "When we get to the tax part, the Republicans say, 'there needs to be 84 Democrats and 19 Repub- licans,' and it's like, 'whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on here,'" Sturla said. "You want people who vote for the budget to vote for the taxes." This latest stalemate has emerged barely three months after Wolf and the Legislature ended a record-breaking stalemate in the just-ended fiscal year. On Friday, American Cancer Society officials and a coalition of public health organizations went to the Capitol to press for higher tobacco taxes, saying it will improve health, prompt more people to quit and make it less affordable for kids to start using the products. Virginia-based Altria, the nation's No. 1 ciga- day afternoon, Qamar's father, Qamar Abbas, said he fought with his son over the passport because his son gave what Abbas considered a nonsensical explanation for wanting to travel abroad. The son told his father that he wanted to go to medical school overseas; the father questioned why that would be the case when people come from all over the world to study medicine in the United States. Over the years, Abbas said, he fought with his son to encourage him to get an education and that the family moved to Fairfax County because of the quality of its public schools. Abbas said he grew concerned a few years ago when his son grew a long beard, and started spending excessive amounts of time online. "He doesn't know what Islam is," Abbas said of his son. "The computer is corrupting their brains. ... He wasn't telling us the truth." Abbas said his son was arrested Friday morning at the family home. Abbas said the FBI agents handcuffed him during a search of the home, and he quickly realized from the agents' demeanor why his son had been arrested. Qamar's arrest comes three days after prosecutors announced charges against another northern Virginia man — Mohamed Jalloh, 26, of Sterling — alleging that he attempted to support the Islamic State. Authorities say Jalloh, a former Army National Guard soldier, contemplated a Fort Hoodstyle attack against U.S. service members after meeting an Islamic State member in Africa. Earlier this year, an Alexandria man, Mohamad Khweis, was charged with supporting the Islamic State after traveling to Iraq and Syria to join the group, then surrendering himself to Kurdish forces after a couple of months , saying he became disenchanted with the IS. Qamar, according to the affidavit, told the informant that Khweis was an idiot for leaving the Islamic State, and he wished he could have traded places with him. Shoot Continued from Page 1 tember, as a way to raise environmental education funds for conservation district workshops and activities. As our staff size increased in 2014 we began increasing our education and outreach in the county at more community events and hosting more workshops, which naturally creates more expenses,” Yetzer said. The need to fund more programs led Yetzer looking into other ways to raise money, and as part of that endeavor she started to look into what other conservation districts throughout the state were doing. “I found several counties that had sporting clay shoot fundraisers,” Yetzer said, noting that York County in particular holds a popular event each year. As a lifelong resident of Elk County, Yetzer thought the idea would be a good fit for the area. “I’ve lived in Elk County my entire life. My family members are avid outdoorsmen. We hunt, fish, camp, boat, etc. Hosting a clay shoot of some type didn’t seem too daunting,” Yetzer said.

He has said that he would not sign it without sustainable revenue to pay for it. Meanwhile, legislation authorizing another nearly $600 million for Penn State, Pitt, Temple, Lincoln and Penn remains in limbo in the House and legislative staff aides were preparing hundreds of pages of budget-related bills for lawmakers to vote on. Wolf stayed out of sight Friday, and budget negotiators remained tight-lipped about how they would raise the more than $1 billion that they say is necessary to balance $31.5 billion in spending.

She saw the wheat fields of Kansas and the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. When she took the narrowgauge train to the top of Pikes Peak, the temptation to rhapsodize must have been overwhelming. Back at the hotel, she took pen in hand. In 1895, her "America" was published in a church periodical's July Fourth edition. The poem was a hit, and later, music was added by church organist and choirmaster Samuel A. Ward. "America the Beautiful" became arguably this nation's favorite patriotic song. Ray Charles, for my money, did it the ultimate justice with his 1976 Bicentennial version. I can understand why the view from Pikes Peak would spur you to poetry, if that is your bent. Twice I have taken the same train ride up that Ms. Bates did so long ago. At the tiptop, the air is thin and cold, but the vantage is such that you don't mind your own temporary discomfort. You stagger around to get your bearings and appreciate the physical beauty below. This country looks mighty good from a distance. In a political season like the one in which we find ourselves, however, close inspection hurts. The poet's lines begin to sound more like warnings than praise: "Confirm thy soul in self-control. Thy liberty in law." A buffoon that Hollywood would find too absurd to chronicle has emerged as a "leader" of a major political party. His proclamations range from silly to racist, from daft to dangerous. His rallies have provoked protest and violence. He waggles and weaves and reinvents his rhetoric to suit his mood. He draws great crowds and much applause. A gun lobby only strengthens with each massacre of innocent citizens. Citizens react, but Congress does nothing. "May God thy gold refine. Till all success be nobleness, and ev'ry gain divine." Corporate money rules. The political process is such that whoever is elected is compromised from Day One. With football game dynamics, the campaigns are defined by war chests and personal net worth. "And crown thy good with brotherhood." States pass legislation targeting their own citizens for no apparent reason except to pander to hate-mongers who operate in the name of religion. Having not learned the hard lessons of civil rights for all, America once again tolerates the same bigotry that fueled Jim Crow. "Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears." Our "alabaster cities" are dangerous and flooded with tears. From sea to shining sea, there are infrastructure needs not addressed, children with inferior schools, old people with inadequate health care and other real problems always obscured by political red herrings. The pure poetry of America's natural beauty is mocked by greed, hate, violence, nationalism and the demagoguery that passes for leadership. – Rheta Grimsley Johnson's most recent book is "Hank Hung the Moon ...

Guest Commentary The Gong Show Election of 2016 Many of those reading this article remember The Gong Show. It ran on NBC from June 1976 to July 1978 and briefly reprised in the 1980s. It featured amateur talent, much of it rendering absurd humor. Three judges awarded ridiculous prizes to the least deplorable performance. Ironically, The Gong Show was in some ways an unintended reflection of an era of uncertainty in America at the time. In August 1974, President Gerald Ford declared the end of “our nation’s long national nightmare” after pardoning President Richard Nixon for his role in the Watergate Scandal fostered by Nixon’s paranoia over leaks during the latter phase of the Vietnam War. In April 1975, a massive North Vietnamese offensive performed the coup de gras for the Saigon regime birthed by Washington in 1955 and sustained through two decades of bloody civil war then relinquished like some prodigal child no longer deserving of forbearance. An Arab oil embargo in the wake of Washington’s support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War of October 1973 had tripled the cost of gasoline. By the late 1970s gas rationing and long lines at filling stations were part of the motoring scene. American-made automobiles were by 1978 smaller, less powerful, more expensive, and shoddily built. President Jimmy Carter advised the people to embrace limited expectations. It would be 1980 before Ronald Reagan rallied the country and the sun began to rise once more on American exceptionalism. In 2016, unless the Democratic Party and the Republican Party conventions experience a few moments of temporary sanity, the electorate will be choosing between candidates with political acumen best suited for The Gong Show: a bumptious billionaire whose political rhetoric consists of name calling and a woman whose infamous claims to policy experience include blaming a video for the tragedy at Benghazi in September 2011. This year’s election will place an exclamation point on the end of American exceptionalism. History, or what passes for it in this postmodern 21st century America, should mark 2016 as America’s “dimmest hour.” A year marked by the triumph of political asininity. How this nation, one that two generations ago led the world to triumph over demonic fascism in Europe and a cruel imperialism in Asia, then closed out the twentieth century with the dismantling of the Soviet Union’s evil empire, came to this point is something that should bring sane people to their knees. Those few Americans who are still inclined to hit their knees in humble supplication to what hopefully remains a merciful God need to do so. Pray that by some miracle a leader will emerge over this summer. Someone with a strategic vision born of a grasp of history and stoked with faith in the Almighty God who blessed this country with resources and with citizens who struggled— sometimes gave their lives—to secure the blood-bought blessings of liberty and freedom. If so, as was the case in January 1981 when Ronald Reagan brought a new birth to America, the republic can survive—even thrive—once more. Otherwise, The Gong Show Election of 2016 will give us an idiocrasy—and maybe we the people deserve it. – Dr. Earl Tilford is a military historian and fellow for the Middle East & terrorism with The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College. From 1993 to 2001, he served as Director of Research at the U.S. Army’s Strategic Studies Institute. Today in History Today is Saturday, July 9, the 191st day of 2016. There are 175 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On July 9, 1816, Argentina declared independence from Spain. On this date: In 1540, England's King Henry VIII had his 6-month-old marriage to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, annulled. In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to Gen. George Washington's troops in New York. In 1850, the 12th president of the United States, Zachary Taylor, died after serving only 16 months of his term. (He was succeeded by Millard Fillmore.) In 1896, William Jennings Bryan delivered his famous "cross of gold" speech at the Democratic national convention in Chicago. In 1918, 101 people were killed in a train collision in Nashville, Tennessee. The Distinguished Service Cross was established by an Act of Congress. In 1938, Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo, 68, died in Port Chester, New York. In 1945, architect Frank Lloyd Wright unveiled his design for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, a spiral structure on Manhattan's Upper East Side that was completed in 1959. In 1951, President Harry S. Truman asked Congress to formally end the state of war between the United States and Germany. (An official end to the state of war was declared in October 1951.) In 1962, pop artist Andy Warhol's exhibit of 32 paintings of Campbell's soup cans opened at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles. In 1974, former U.S. Chief Justice Earl Warren died in Washington at age 83. In 1986, Attorney General Edwin Meese's Commission on Pornography released the final draft of its report, which linked hard-core porn to sex crimes. In 1995, Jerry Garcia performed for the final time as frontman of the Grateful Dead during a concert at Chicago's Soldier Field (Garcia died a month later). Ten years ago: S7 Airlines Flight 778, a Russian Airbus A310, crashed in the Siberian city of Irkutsk, killing 125 of 203 people on board. In a penalty-plagued final, Italy won the World Cup soccer title with a penalty shootout over France after a 1-1 draw. Roger Federer ended a five-match losing streak to Rafael Nadal, winning 6-0, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (2), 6-3 to earn his fourth straight Wimbledon title. Five years ago: South Sudan became the world's newest nation, officially breaking away from Su- dan after two civil wars over five decades that had cost millions of lives. During his first visit to Afghanistan as Pentagon chief, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that alQaida's defeat was "within reach." Derek Jeter homered for his 3,000th hit, making him the first player to reach the mark with the New York Yankees, who defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-4. One year ago: South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley relegated the Confederate flag to the state's "relic room" after the legislature passed a measure removing the flag from the grounds of the Statehouse in the wake of the slaughter of nine AfricanAmericans at a church Bible study. The Obama administration said hackers had stolen Social Security numbers, health histories and other highly sensitive data from more than 21 million people, acknowledging that the breach of U.S. government computer systems was far more severe than previously disclosed. Saudi Arabia's Prince Saud al-Faisal, who had been the world's longest-serving foreign minister with 40 years in the post until his retirement earlier in the year, died at age 75.

BOSTON (AP) — David Ortiz hit his 21st home run of the season, Bryce Brentz had two hits and broke a tie with an RBI single in the sixth and the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-5 on Friday night. The win was Boston’s fourth in five games as it tries to gain ground on AL East-leading Baltimore before the All-Star break. Brentz’s RBI came after he entered the game in the fourth inning for an injured Brock Holt. Ortiz’s homer — the 524th of his career — tied him with Jimmie Foxx for seventh-most in American League history. Robbie Ross, Jr. (1-1) got the victory for Boston. Koji Uehara picked up his third save. Red Sox starter Sean O’Sullivan had won in each of his previous three starts, but he allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings on Friday. Tampa Bay’s Chris Archer (4-12) took the loss, surrendering five runs and seven hits in six innings. Evan Longoria had four hits and a home run for the Rays, who have lost four straight and 20 of 23. The Red Sox, who have had their share of injuries the past two months, left a little more scuffed up. Holt left with a left ankle sprain after getting his leg caught underneath him on a slide while stealing second. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, but did have a slight limp. X-rays were negative and he will be re-evaluated on Saturday. Holt just returned to action July 1 after missing 37 games with a concussion. Hanley Ramirez also limped his way through an eighth inning at-bat after fouling a ball off his left leg. He left the game with a left shin bruise. Archer entered the night with a 9.50 ERA in the first inning this season — the third-highest in the American League. He got off to another slow start Friday. The Red Sox got their first three batters on base, then used an RBI single by Xander Bogaerts and a sacrifice fly by Jackie Bradley, Jr. to take a 2-0 lead. Tampa Ray got one run back in the second inning, and then tied it up in the third when Logan Forsythe crushed his eighth home run of the season over the Green Monster in left field. Ortiz’s homer and an RBI single by Aaron Hill put Boston back in front 4-2. But the Rays were able to manufacture two runs on RBIs by Brad Miller and Longoria in their half of the fifth to tie it up again. Moore (5-5, 4.54 ERA) is 3-1 over his last five starts with a 2.43 ERA over that span. Moore threw seven scoreless innings in a 4-0 win at home over the Red Sox on June 29. He is 2-2 with a 4.82 ERA in five games (four starts) at Fenway Park. He will be seeking his first road at Boston since September 2015. 7 www.smdailypress.com The Daily Press Saturday, July 9, 2016 Fall, double-faults hurt Federer in Wimbledon loss to Raonic LONDON (AP) — There was Roger Federer, so famous for his flawless footwork, flat on his stomach, face down and motionless on the Centre Court grass after jamming the toe of his left shoe and stumbling during what turned out to be the fifth set’s pivotal game in his Wimbledon semifinal. And, a little earlier Friday, there was Federer, so successful through the years thanks in part to such a pinpoint serve, double-faulting two times in a row — What?! Really?! — while getting broken to drop the fourth set. Two miscues of the sort you’re just not used to seeing from him all that often. Two moments that even Federer found hard to fathom. Once seemingly on the verge of a victory that would have given him a record 11th berth in the Wimbledon final, and a shot at an unprecedented eighth men’s championship at the All England Club, Federer lost his way and the match, beaten 6-3, 6-7 (3), 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 by sixth-seeded Milos Raonic. “This one clearly hurts, because I felt I could have had it. So close,” said Federer, who had his surgically repaired left knee checked by a trainer after the uncharacteristic fall and wasn’t sure whether he was seriously injured. “It was really so, so close.” Quite true. Federer, owner of 17 major trophies in all, was merely one point from serving for the match when, ahead two sets to one, he got to 30-40 on Raonic’s serve at 4-all in the fourth. But the 25-yearold Raonic, the first man from Canada to reach a Grand Slam final, cast aside that break point with a 139 mph service winner. Soon, he was in charge. “I sort of persevered. I was sort of plugging away,” said Raonic, whose serve reached 144 mph, produced 23 aces and saved eight of nine break points. “I was struggling through many parts of the MLS Transactions Daily Scoreboard MLB By The Associated Press All Times EDT American League East Division Baltimore Toronto Boston New York Tampa Bay Central Division Cleveland Detroit Kansas City Chicago Minnesota West Division W L 49 35 49 39 46 38 42 43 34 51 Pct GB .583 — .557 2 .548 3 .49471/2 .400151/2 W L 51 34 45 41 44 41 44 41 30 55 Pct GB .600 — .52361/2 .518 7 .518 7 .353 21 W L Pct GB Texas 53 34 .609 — Houston 46 40 .53561/2 Seattle 43 43 .50091/2 Oakland 37 49 .430151/2 Los Angeles 36 50 .419161/2 ___ Thursday’s Games L.A.

I made the most of it.” Carlos Moya — one of Raonic’s trio of coaches, including three-time Wimbledon champion John McEnroe — said Federer “kind of opened the door for Milos to have a chance to come back. At this stage of the tournament, you pay for that.” On Sunday, Raonic will face No. 2 Andy Murray, who easily eliminated No. 10 Tomas Berdych 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 in the second semifinal. Murray beat Raonic on grass in the Queen’s Club final three weeks ago. It will be Murray’s 11th major final; he’s won only two so far, including at Wimbledon in 2013, when he gave Britain its first men’s champion at the tournament in 77 years. But this is Murray’s first Grand Slam title match against someone other than Federer or Novak Djokovic. “You learn from those matches, for sure,” said Murray, who’s 29. “The older you get, you never know how many chances Fernandez pitches 7 innings in 3-1 win over Reds MIAMI (AP) — Jose Fernandez looked more like himself Friday night. Fernandez bounced back from allowing a career-high nine runs, six earned, in a loss at Atlanta to pitch seven innings allowing just an unearned run to help the Miami Marlins to a 3-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds to begin the final series before the All-Star break. “Obviously there was a lot of things to work on from last start and a lot of adjustments to be made,” Fernandez said. “I think we made a couple, but there’s still a lot of work to be done.” Fernandez (11-4) struck out eight and did not walk a batter while allowing six hits, lowering his firsthalf ERA to 2.52. The Reds scored the unearned run with two errors committed by Marlins’ outfielders. you’re going to have.” Federer, who turns 35 on Aug. 8, would have been the oldest finalist at the All England Club since 1974. He remains tied with Pete Sampras and William Renshaw (who played in the 1800s) with seven titles at Wimbledon, most recently in 2012, and was the runnerup to Djokovic the past two years. Maybe this time Federer ran out of steam, forced to play 10 sets in his last two matches, including a quarterfinal comeback from two sets down against Marin Cilic on Wednesday. Two years ago, Federer got past Raonic in straight sets in the Wimbledon semifinals. This time, Federer flinched the way he seemingly never used to. Serving to get to a tiebreaker at 6-5 in the fourth set, Federer went up 40-love. After a forehand winner by Raonic, the unthinkable: Those back-to-back doublefaults to let Raonic back into the game. Eventually, Raonic took advantage of a soft volley to deliver a down-the-line backhand passing winner, breaking for the first time since the match’s fourth game — which ended with a double-fault by Federer — and sending the semifinal to a fifth set. “I can’t believe I served a double-fault twice. Unexplainable for me, really,” Federer said. “Very sad about that and angry at myself because never should I allow him to get out of that set that easily.” He went up a break at 3-1 in the fifth by winning the game in which Federer tripped — and contributed yet another double-fault. “I hope it’s not so bad. I walked it off. I was able to finish,” Federer said. “But I don’t slip a lot. I don’t ever fall down. It was a different fall for me than I’ve ever had.” Asked how badly he might have been injured, Federer replied: “I don’t know yet. I don’t even want to know. I just felt not the same afterwards.” This has been a difficult season for Federer, who never needed an operation until having his knee’s torn cartilage repaired in February. He’s also had back issues, missed the French Open to end a 65-appearance streak at majors, and came to Wimbledon without a title in 2016. “You’re playing who Roger is today,” Raonic said, “not who he’s been the past few years.” Golf League News TUESDAY SENIOR LEAGUE Team Eckert won the second quarter of the Tuesday Senior League at the Bavarian Hills Golf Course with 221 points.

Colon, Scherzer, Saunders, Belt added to All-Star rosters NEW YORK (AP) — Bartolo Colon and Max Scherzer are headed to the All-Star Game, picked as replacements for other pitchers originally selected to the National League team. Major League Baseball also announced Friday that Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Michael Saunders and San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt won the final two All-Star roster spots, elected by fans in online balloting. “This is a proud moment for me and my family,” Saunders said. “Everyone knows that Canada takes care of their own. I’m Canadian through and through. Just to feel that support, the best way I can describe, everyone’s been asking me, is I feel loved by this country. To see the support they gave me is very humbling.” Saunders joins the American League team, while Belt gets a slot on the NL squad. “Extremely excited, obviously. It’s hard to put into words,” Belt said. “I just can’t believe that I’m an All-Star this year. It’s pretty cool, especially when you step back and think about how many fans voted and how many times they voted, how many messages that I got of how their thumbs were numb. It’s pretty overwhelming to think about.” The 43-year-old Colon was chosen to replace Madison Bumgarner in Tuesday’s showcase in San Diego because the Giants ace is scheduled to pitch Sunday against Arizona. A fan favorite with the New York Mets, Colon is 7-4 with a 3.28 ERA. He was picked by his own manager — Terry Collins of the Mets will lead the NL team. “It means a lot, especially for someone my age,” Colon said through a translator. “It surprised me a lot.” In one of the most stunning and charming moments of the season, Colon homered in San Diego in early May, becoming the oldest player to hit his first major league home run. The hefty right-hander said the All-Star nod was very meaningful to him because he’s “in the final stages” of his career. He said he’d like to pitch one more season in the majors if healthy. “When I asked him if he wanted to go the AllStar Game, he said yes. He didn’t say, hey, I need to rest, I’m 43 years old. I’m shot. He said, ‘Thank you, I’d like to go.’ So he’s going to go,” Collins said, drawing laughs. Scherzer will substitute for Washington Nationals teammate Stephen Strasburg, who came off the disabled list this week and won’t pitch in the All-Star Game as a precaution. Strasburg, who is from San Diego, plans to attend the game, the Nationals said. “Max was excited. Never seen a veteran guy as elated as he, to be a part of the All-Star Game,” Washington manager Dusty Baker said. “I think he’s a good representative to show people what a privilege and an honor it is to go.” Strasburg started Friday night against the New York Mets, his second outing since coming off the DL. He returned from an upper back strain Sunday against Cincinnati. “Because of Stephen’s injury that he just came off of, being on three days’ rest, it would have cost him time again with us,” Baker said. “So I’m just glad that he’s going, especially in his hometown. But there’s a lot of risk for Stephen since he just came off the DL and you don’t know how he’s going to come through this game tonight. So everybody decided it’d be better that he doesn’t start or pitch.” 8 The Daily Press Saturday, July 9, 2016 4. EMPLOYMENT 4. EMPLOYMENT www.smdailypress.com 4. EMPLOYMENT 4. EMPLOYMENT 4.

The areas, applications software development, cybersecurity and digital forensics, and systems and network administration, will be concentrations for students within the CIS&T major. With the addition of a few pre-requisite courses, each area can serve as a minor for students who are not majoring in CIS&T. Dr. Shushan Zhao has been hired to direct the security and forensics concentration/minor. Zhao completed his doctoral degree at the School of Computer Science at the University of Windsor in Canada in 2012. He has served as a lecturer at Bishop’s University and Vanier College, both of which are located in Montreal. Zhao also has rich experience in the telecommunications and software industry, having worked as a software developer at VMWare, Mitel, Ericsson and Nuance in Canada and Finland, where he earned his Master of Science degree in telecommunications software from Helsinki University of Technology. His research interests are in the areas of computer networks, telecommunications systems, information security, theory and application of cryptography. Current faculty members Don Lewicki, associate professor of business management, and Dr. Ken Wang, associate professor of computer information systems and technology, will oversee the other two areas. Lewicki, who is also program director, said that the three areas chosen are expected to be among the fastest-growing occupations in Pennsylvania and have competitive starting salaries. Having a complete minor on students’ transcripts will make them more marketable, Lewicki said. “Students have been clamoring for these.” The applications software development minor will allow students to become a software programmer or developer. “This gives them additional depth” over the major alone, Lewicki said. “There are many jobs out there where you have to program.” Cyber security and forensics are newer fields that are growing rapidly as companies realize that the possibility of a data breach is a huge liability. The digital forensics portion of the minor is expected to attract criminal justice as well as CIS&T majors.

The new concentra- tions/minors, as well as the new lab, scholarships and a new summer program, are made possible through two $1 million gifts from President Emeritus Richard E. and Ruth McDowell and Zippo Manufacturing Co.

In Philadelphia, a group planned a "Weekend of Rage" to draw attention to police disparities, while in Atlanta, a demonstration went ahead Friday night, less than 24 hours after the slaughter in Dallas. In turn, police across the country said they would step up their patrols. Black Lives Matter organizer Sir Maejor said the rally in Atlanta was scheduled before the Dallas shooting. People are angry over police violence against blacks and need an outlet to demonstrate peacefully, he said. "Black Lives Matter doesn't condone shooting law enforcement. But I have to be honest: I understand why it was done," Maejor said. "I don't encourage it, I don't condone it, I don't justify it. But I understand it." Thousands of protesters flooded downtown Atlanta's streets, where they marched peacefully and snarled traffic Friday night. Black Lives Matter began in 2013 after black teenager Trayvon Martin was shot to death by onetime community watch volunteer George Zimmerman in Florida. Zimmerman was later acquitted, and the movement grew amid a string of fatal shootings of blacks by police officers, many of which were captured on video and shared on social media. Jeff Hood, an organizer in Dallas, described hearing shots and seeing officers fall as he marched with hundreds of people through downtown after a rally Thursday night. In Philadelphia, Erica Mines of the Philly Coalition for REAL Justice said the group is planning a "Weekend of Rage." She is worried about her safety, but said continued action is necessary to bring about change. "Everyone is not going to be on our side, but those who understand will join in the struggle and help educate the masses. We are hurting. We are tired. We are fed up," she said. Police said a gunman ambushed Dallas officers as they walked along streets filled with demonstrators upset over police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota. Authorities identified the gunman as Micah Johnson, a 25-year-old Army veteran from suburban Dallas. Police haven't given any indication that the Dallas shooter had anything to do with Black Lives Matter or any other group. Police Chief David Brown said the gunman told a police negotiator during a standoff that he was "upset about Black Lives Matter" and had acted on his own. Brown didn't elaborate on the man's statements about the group, but added: "He said he was upset about the recent police shootings. The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated that he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers." Two civilians also were hurt, but police appeared to be the prime targets. Rather than tactical gear, many officers were wearing uniform shorts. A few posed for photos with the demonstrators before the gunfire began. Some took to social media to blame the killings on Black Lives Matter, and the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network appeared to strike a critical tone of the movement in a statement that said Sharpton "reaffirms his commitment that the movement must continue but that it must be anti-police misconduct, not anti-police." A Texas organizer of Black Lives Matter, Ashton P. Woods, said criticism of the group was unfair. Woods said the repeated shootings by police are pushing some unstable people over the edge.

Dear Annie: I’m married to a wonderful man. We have been together for four years now and just finished moving from Arizona to Washington for work. I’m from the Northwest originally, so my family is thrilled that we’ll be closer, especially as we start thinking about expanding our family. My husband’s family is from the Northeast, so we don’t get to see his parents so much. We try to spend at least two weeks each year with his parents, though -- one week back east around the holidays, one week out west during the summer. The problem is that though the time we spend together is minimal, my father-in-law is so hard to talk with. He seems to be kind of socially unaware, and his family is used to this. As a newcomer, I’m still having trouble with it. Conversations with him veer into fields where he is comfortable and rarely leave those areas. I just don’t know how much more I can hear about biochemistry or basketball when I have nothing to contribute with my background in architecture and having watched a few Trail Blazers games in my life. I’d love to get to know him more, but when I try to ask him questions or tell him about my life, he seems uninterested. It seems I either have my ear talked off or am talking to a brick wall. When I mention this to my husband, he just tells me that’s how his dad is. My mother-in-law has learned to live with this for 40 years, but I can’t manage a week. Help? -- Desperate Daughter-inLaw Dear Desperate: Your best option is to enlist your husband for help. Tell him you love his dad -- compliment his great attributes -- but let him know that while he’s used to the way his dad is, you’re not. Try working out a system. Maybe you could come up with a secret hand signal to use when your father-inlaw has you cornered in conversation. Hubby can swoop in to the rescue. At the end of the day, in-laws are extensions of your partner, and your love for your husband means accepting his parents as they are. But it doesn’t mean you have to be best friends with your father-in-law or buy matching Trail Blazers jerseys. Dear Annie: I live in an area with extremely limited parking. We have this one neighbor who always parks his car in the middle of a curbed area that should easily fit two cars. The spot is in front of his house, but the parking isn’t permitted or assigned. Anyone can park anywhere. Sometimes he’ll leave it there for days on end, only moving it for our neighborhood street cleaning. Though it’s only wasting one other space, it always boils my blood to see his car sitting there, taking up a space that could have been used by any one of our neighbors or visitors. It’s so entitled. I once saw that someone else left a nice note on his windshield explaining the parking situation. So I know I’m not the only neighbor who is fed up with it. But nothing’s changed. Annie, I don’t even know his name, but I want to key his car. What should I do? -- Revs My Engine Dear Engine: It sounds as if someone is being a stick shift in the mud. And no, I’m not talking about Mr. Poor Parker. Sure, having that extra space would be great. But it’s not worth losing your cool every time you pass by. Try talking to this man in person. Perhaps passive-aggressive notes aren’t the best way to communicate with him. Maybe there’s a reason he likes to park his car there. In the meantime, cool your jets.

Eleven-term congressman Chaka Fattah (SHAW'-kah fa-TAH') resigned June 23, two days after his conviction in Philadelphia. The date for the Nov. 8 special election was set by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf. Fattah lost the primary in April to longtime state Rep. Dwight Evans. Evans is a heavy favorite to win the general election because of Democrats' huge voter registration edge in Philadelphia. Evans said Friday he'll run in the special election, too. The winner of the special election will serve eight weeks before the winner of the general election is sworn in.
